Abstract

An instruction monitoring apparatus for use with a stored-program data processor includes a memory (2200) for storing instruction executional events, such as execution of an instruction and successful or unsuccessful branching of an instruction, and a controller (2100) for controlling the record­ ing of events into the memory. The memory (2200) is addres­ sed in correspondence to the address of areas to be moni­ tored in the main storage. The controller (2100) responds to the execution of an instruction by the central processor (1000) to record executional events including execution, successful or unsuccessful branching and main storage reference change into the memory (2200) at a location corresponding to the address of the executed instruction or the address which has been accessed for reference/change.
